The rapidly-changing and increasingly fragile global order spotlights the European Union and China as champions of the multilateral rulebook. Both the EU and China are committed to safeguarding international peace and stability, implementing pledges made on climate change and Agenda 2030 and are resisting a worldwide slide into protectionism. The bilateral EU-China relationship is equally multi-faceted, with Brussels and Beijing currently discussing the impact of US trade policies on the global trading environment but also bilateral investment flows, access to markets and the many ways in which the Belt and Road Initiative impacts on Europe and the world.

How are Europe and China working together to deal with Iranian and North Korean nuclear plans?
What are the possible synergies for EU-China cooperation on climate change and Agenda 2030?
Can Europe and China overcome their different approaches and join forces on global connectivity initiatives?
Moderated by:
Shada Islam, Director for Europe & Geopolitics at Friends of Europe
